Adding One To Your Thematic or Canada Stamp Collection
The sheetlet makes a lovely display page, however, they are quite pricey. Most collectors content themselves with a UM single. They were first issued on the 19th December 2003 and First Day Covers are available, although like the blocks they are quite hard to find.
Used examples such as the one above are quite cheap and easy to obtain, so if you are on a budget this is the way to go.
